HIV/AIDS: Medical Treatments
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the average annual cost of treating a person with HIV.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) treatment and care remain world class in England and the success of HIV treatment is today enabling people with HIV to live long healthy lives. Effective HIV treatment also means those with an undetectable viral load cannot pass on HIV.
The cost of adult HIV care varies depending at what stage someone is diagnosed, and on their general health and other relevant health conditions. No official estimate has been made of the average cost of treating an adult for HIV for this reason.
